Let me explain it this way. If I am going to sit somewhere, if we as left leaning individuals are going to sit and say "it's not what you say it's how others take it and be sensitive to that" then we need to follow the same rules.
If I tell a joke or do something that others take offense to, then maybe it wasn't ok to say that, or to have done that.
If I am going to tell people to pay attention to how others respond to what they are doing or saying. Then i need to follow those same rules.
It is not ok for me to tell another person, you can't say that (what ever that thing is) because of how others are viewing it or how it makes them feel. Then turn around and say but i can do what ever I want even if it offends others.
It is not relevant if we are talking about drag, or trans people, or black people, or minorities, or white people, or religions. What is relevant is that we are running around saying "you can't do that because it is offending others". Yet look through this thread, go all the way up to my top comment and look at all the responses. Notice something? People are acting like this was totally ok even though there are a shit ton of people that it offended.
So it's ok for the left to put in rules that says "you can't do that because it is offending others, but we the left can do what ever we want". That makes sense?
and you are telling me to change my tune?
It wasn't the last supper or anything with Christianity. Maybe if they were actually educated instead of being anti-schooling...

I saw people pissed off about this on social media last night. I didn't even really understand what they were upset about. Other than the fact that it's a handful of people sitting at a table, I didn't really see any similarities with the Last Supper. Christians don't own the concept of people sitting on the same side of a table.
TV shows put all the people on one side of a dinner table all the time - because of camera/blocking reasons. Is every episode of Eight Is Enough blasphemous?
